Cameroon – Hugues Seumo’s Texticules: Did You Say We’re All Hungry?

Hugues Seumo describes how rising living costs are making it increasingly difficult for people in Cameroon to afford basic necessities. He cites palm oil at 800–1,500 CFA francs per litre, bread at 125–135 francs a baguette, three bananas at 100–200 francs, and meat at 3,000–3,500 francs per kilogram. Gas, electricity, water, taxis and rent have also become much more expensive, while juice and beer have not escaped the price surge. He says people in other countries would already have taken to the streets to protest such hardship.

BREAKING: Pastef MPs Will Not Vote for the Amended Finance Bill

The bill includes tax measures tied to the $2.2 billion financing agreement reached with the IMF on 1 September. The party’s opposition comes after President Bassirou Diomaye Faye requested priority consideration of the bill.
